List it on a Buy Nothing group in your area? I give away a lot of stuff that way.

If you're offloading electronics that are going to ewaste center why not accept a $20 offer? Im genuinely interested because i often bid 5-20 on things i consider e waste and people reject it and continue trying to sell it for $100

I tried to give away a clothes dryer one time and no one wanted it. Put it up for $30 and the offers came flying in.

I figured it's an issue with hagglers that haggle for haggling sake, and not about the value of the item.

If I want to sell something on marketplace, I put the price up, because I know somebody will ask for a big discount for a quick sale. I'm happy to move this faded couch set for $100, then I'm listing it for $200... and selling it for $100 to a person who offers to pick it up, too.

It's that kind of reasoning and makes haggling pointless imo, because sellers either don't take your lowball or they knew you'd lowball and charged high to start with so they have room to negotiate.

But as that one JC Penny guy accidentally proved, people love the illusion of good deals more than they love good value.

The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.

People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.

Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.

Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.

Why not switch to a different platform? The screenshot in the post looks like eBay and I'm pretty sure you can disable the offers option there.

Very similar boat. I just find neighborhood kids and nieces and nephews and give it to them to play with. My nephew now has a test machine instead of destroying his main laptop with crap.

Huh. Usually refurb them and offer them up for free. E-waste recycling is a fancy term in my area for "trucking it across the country to a port, loading it on a boat, shipping it across the ocean and then having a 6yr old without PPE burn it and bury it." Honestly, throwing it in a landfill is less damaging at that point.
